Acuff started out playing fiddle in a traveling medicine show and ended up the face of the Grand Ole Opry. Along the way he founded (with Fred Rose) the legendary Acuff-Rose song publishing company and helped lay the groundwork for the massive commercial juggernaut that country has become in the 21st century. This set features his signature songs, including "The Great Speckled Bird," "Wabash Cannonball," and "Wreck on the Highway," along with many others, making for a lengthy introduction to the tone and feel of his recorded work. ~ Steve Leggett Producer: Paul Pelletier Format: CD (1 Disc); Mono Country: Japan Studio/Live: Studio Release Date: 1 September, 2001 Label: Jasmine Music Dimensions: 12.8 x 14.4 x 1 centimeters (0.11 kg)
